Here's a small tutorial to make pendrives or USB drives bootable and to install Windows Vista using it. This trick come in handy if you don't have a DVD/CD drive. Installing from a pendrive will make Windows Vista installation very fast.

Possible Error Message: when a write active, the system give me an message that "There is no partition selected. Please select a partition and try again". You are encountering this error due to the following reasons.

1) You are using windows XP operating system and follows this tutorial. Please note that this tutorial wont work if you are using windows xp. Please read the above note carefully.

Finally copy all the contents from the Windows Vista DVD to your Pendrive. Make sure you don't cause any errors.

Now set the boot priority to your pendrive from bios and you can proceed with the installation as normal.

Now vista can be installed on any pc with the help of this pen drive you have just created now.

If your BIOS dont have an option to boot from pendrive or flash drive, you still have a solution. You will have an option called "usb hdd" in the boot options. Just select it as the first boot device and there you go .You can boot from the pendrive.
